Letterkenny, Ireland, July 04, 2014. Deadstone, a
sci-fi themed 2D shooter with RPG and tower defense elements has
been scheduled for Windows release on 10 July 2014. Members of the
press interested in receiving a copy can email Daithi at
dev@deadstonegame.com.

Mars is under siege, and the colonists are fighting a losing
battle. Assume the role of Blake, a private security operative who
crash lands near the colony of Deadstone after fleeing an outbreak
on the Icarus space station.

Guess who just landed the job of sheriff?

To survive, you’ll need to use your combat expertise and
lethal firepower, but to win, you’ll need a strategy. Manage
Deadstone’s limited resources, investing in the right
combination of defences, weapons, equipment, and upgrades. Develop
the ultimate fighter to complement your strategy with the in-depth,
but unfortunately named S.C.A.M. character development system.
Every time an infected gets past you, a colonist dies. Can you stem
the tide?
